DirectionsDirections for Badas:Clean, wash and soak the dal (lentils) overnight. Drain the dal and grind it into a smooth paste with the help of a little water. Hang the paste in a muslin cloth for sometime (1/2 an hour or so) to drain the excess water. Add salt to taste. Heat oil in a frying pan and drop spoonfuls of the batter and deep fry till golden brown. Take out the badas and immerse them in cold water for 2-3 minutes.
